Working Groups
Expert working groups will be established for new concepts selected for development into proposals. The working groups will be formed on as needed basis, and will draw members from the project team, SSG, Advisory Panel and other experts as required (such as quality of life and/or health and pharmaco-economic expertise). The working groups will provide content knowledge, expertise and input required to develop high quality proposals for grant submissions.
